So I was diagnosed with an ED twice by different psychologists, but never by a physician. Both of these happened about 5 years ago when I actually sought out mental help. My weight has ebbed and flowed, from 140 down to 115, but in the last year it has steadily climbed (blame college) to 145.5. I'm 5'7'', VERY athletic (I was a national athlete for 12 years)

I don't know if I've ever had a strict ED, and I'm troubled by the idea of wannarexia. My weight has always been a part of other neurosis. So right now, I'm home from college for christmas, and this always puts me on a fast track to weight loss. I haven't been on a scale in 11 months, and now I'll be on it every day. I haven't counted calories in months, but I know that I ate

60 (bacon)
140 (eggs)
150 (ramen)
30 (bell pepper)
50 (sugar and milk in coffee)
100 (two bites of chocolate and a handful of nuts)
100 (bread)
200 (cheese)
60 (tomato soup)

total: 790
but of course, I'll add 150 extra just in case there was butter on anything etc.

so let's say 850

then I walked around in the snow for 3 hours without sitting down approx 350 calories

then burned 253 calories on a bike machine

so that's a net intake of 247

now I need 2232 calories to maintain weight so that's pretty good.


I don't know what it is about being at my parents house that brings this out in me. I can look at myself and see that I'm not too skinny, not too fat. I don't think. Sometimes I wonder if I'm just still young enough to have the deep inkling that vices have sex appeal. I'm an addict to alcohol, cigarettes, coffee. I do harder drugs but am not addicted.

I just need the control I guess. I don't really think it's an ED, it's just this thing I do. Not all the time, but periodically for a few months at a time over the last 6 years. I don't think I'd look bad 30 lbs lighter, and I know I'd feel better. I just want to be in shape, you know?

anyways, right now I'd say I'm thick but built, yes? I don't really want to be skinny per se, but I want the control of regulating my diet. Do you think it would look weird if I dropped 15-20 lbs?

You look good.
If you lost 30 pounds you'd look horrible, your hip bones would stick out and so would you ribs.

there's more than 60 calories in bacon
 

 nope, I checked the package, and it's 80 calories for two slices (it's lowfat bacon). I cut up three slices and made them with four eggs, then split the meal between my father and I.


did you take into account the oil?


I didn't fry them with any oil, besides as you'll note at the end, I added 150 extra calories to my total just in case my calculations were low anywhere.
